Servers are needed to celebrate the Mass in the Extraordinary Form as outlined in Pope Benedict XVI in his Summorum Pontificum dated July 2007. The motu proprio specifies the circumstances in which priests of the Latin Church may celebrate Mass according to the Missal promulgated by Blessed John XXIII in 1962. Our Mass is celebrated by the FSSP.
